Another device used throughout the novel to give a sense of authenticity is diction. Although the members of the Osborne family speak properly, the farm hands (who were, up until a short time before the novel, slaves), speak in a southern dialect which portrays them as uneducated. A good example of this is when Buddy pleads with Porter to, “Keep yo head down, Sambo! For God’s sake, keep yo head down an be stiller’n you ever been in yo life befo!” The same words are used as would be used by an educated person, only they are shortened or run tog .....

soul, of course, but this is dead paper and a great relief to my mind-) perhaps
that is one reason I do not get well faster. You see he does not believe I am
sick!"(507) The men are under the impression that what they say goes and
therefore the woman has no choice but to follow. "He knows there is no reason
to suffer and that satisfies him."(508) This quote illustrates that the men are
in control. If they strongly believe nothing is wrong, then nothing must be
wrong. It is a feeling of self satisfaction the men feel when they are superior
to the woman.
The main character knows John loves her, but it .....

The Adventures Of Huck Finn: Jim Is A Hero
Words: 945 - Pages: 4.... look at his face -- it's too gashly."
This is an example of how Jim is a humane and loving person because
he does not allow Huck to see his dead father's face once he sees and
understands the position in wehich he is placed. Later, Huck wishes to
speak to Jim about the dead man, but Jim will not allow it since he does
not want to reveal the truth about Pap to Huck. This is a second and more
direct approach that is used in the story in order to show this same point.
Jim is also basically a good person. Although he is ignorant, he
knows that it is a good thing for him to show Huck that he has worth so
that Huck can think of him as an eq .....

and change lies within." Throughout Fahrenheit 451, Montag, a dedicated
fireman and book burner, sees pleasure and titillation from burning books
and destroying lifetimes of important ideas. When outside influences put
confusion in him, he begins a series of changes, eventually becoming a

Many factors contribute to the changes found in Montag. One of the

become the "over man" through knowledge, he realizes that books will not

with all reality and humanity around him.

The Beast In The Jungle: The Beast Of James
Words: 2435 - Pages: 9.... so much of the reader as he was thinking of
himself.
In "The Beast in the Jungle" James has aesthetically hidden the
reality of Marcher's destiny by treating it as a symbolic crouching beast
waiting to spring. The reader will ask why James has done this? Wouldn't it
be more effective to speak plainly of Marcher's and Bartram's relationship?
The author could tell us exactly why John Marcher does not marry May
Bartram. The narrator tells us that Marcher's situation "was not a
condition he could invite a woman to share" and "that a man of feeling
didn't cause himself to be accompanied by a lady on a tiger hunt" (p. 417).
This is nonsens .....
